ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To determine (i) the prevalence of opioid-naïve patients discharged on opioids from a musculoskeletal rehabilitation inpatient unit; (ii) the prevalence of opioid use 6 months after discharge; and (iii) the efficacy of the Opioid Risk Tool in identifying long-term opioid use.DESIGN:
Prospective study.PARTICIPANTS:
Sixty-four opioid-naïve patients who were exposed to opioids during admission and who were discharged on an opioid.METHODS:
Potentially eligible patients' charts were reviewed. Participants were interviewed during admission to obtain the opioid risk score and contacted 6 months after discharge via a semi-structured telephone interview.RESULTS:
Twenty-eight percent of opioid-naïve patients, who were discharged on opioids were still using opioids 6 months after discharge from rehabilitation. There was a trend for higher Opioid Risk Tool scores in those still using opioids than in individuals who were not using opioids at 6 months (p = 0.053).CONCLUSION:
Patients who are prescribed opioids during a hospital admission should be screened for risk of opioid misuse. This data suggests that the Opioid Risk Tool could identify a patient's potential for becoming a long-term user of opioids.
